SnapNames Has Been Acquired by Web.com

No longer owned by Moniker, now owned by the same great team that runs register.com and netsol.

Does this make you more likely to use it, less likely to use it, or who cares?

well since they are also half owners of namejet, you've got to wonder what they are going to do. i doubt it will be good. register.com and netsol are notorious pieces of crap.

...now owned by the same great team that runs register.com and netsol.

lol, I don't think the sarcasm came across adequately in my particular use of the word "great" there...

Does that mean that netsol inventory could be going back to Snapnames ?

Wishing for LOTS of changes for the best! %%-

my mum always used to say if you've nothing nice to say you shouldn't say anything at all. I will leave no further comment.

It'd be hard for SnapNames to get any worse after having been related to Moniker (or even owned by the same parent co as Moniker) and the halvarez fiasco a good while ago, but it actually might since any parent co of NetSol can't possibly be a good one lol

I'm wondering too if NetSol drops which always went to NameJet are now going to go to SnapNames instead.... Although if SN gets NetSol's drops SN will get a boost, and that'll be a net loss for huge competitor NJ, just cuz NetSol is one of the largest registrars, let's see if the new SN can ruin that

And I had understood NameJet was owned by both NetSol and eNom (or the parent cos of those two, whoever they are at the time) But Fabulous also gives its dropped names to NameJet, so does Fabulous have an ownership in NJ as well ?.... Those 3 registrars are separate and choose NJ over SnapNames which is where most of the other registrars' drops end up

And just why is it that we cannot edit in this section anymore (Domain Name News)....?

PS - Admins: This ain't the legal thread section, guys lol ! Another casualty of the April 2014 upgrade perhaps.....?

 

[gingeman]

so... can't list moniker names at snap auctions anymore, (although the button still exists in my moniker account, and moniker are listed as a "partner registrar" - now they want you to move any domains you want to sell over to netsol first...

Do they change the name? I don't see SnapNames in Web.com owned brands.
